early childhood center

The Early Childhood Center is an outreach program sponsored by West Market Street United Methodist Church. The Early Childhood Center offers quality childcare and developmentally appropriate education for children of families in the community and the church. Through our programs, the Early Childhood Center offers an environment where Christian values are demonstrated, and young children’s faith can grow.

The teachers from each class have requested the items listed below. You can purchase items, label which classroom they are for, and bring them to the church office Monday through Thursday from 9am-2pm. You may also leave the items (clearly labeled by classroom) in the boxes set out in the Gathering Space and The Corner lobby at any time.
